It’s friggin’ -4 degrees with a pretty tough wind at the Deer Creek Weather Station. I’m literally having to drag Pauli off her bed in front of the fireplace to go oustide and take care of her business.
The windchill is brutal. Pray for those who have to work outside during the week….and pray for those amongst us who are homeless in need of shelter. I’m an outdoors person and this is like nothing I’ve experienced in Oklahoma in my life.
What a horrible six month experience for trees, shrubs and plants as this weather follows the historic ice storm we just experienced in late October.
My son actually played in an outdoor hockey tournament in Durango, Colorado this week-end and it was 45 degrees on Saturday and mid twenties yesterday. Not too bad. No goalies. His team went 3-2 and lost one game by a 25-18 count to a team which had all minor league hockey players.
Stay inside with your animals and read or listen to music would be my advice. Make a donation to those who help the homeless. Be kind to those who need help.
I learned quite a bit about Frank Sinatra watching the docu movie. For instance…he was married five times. His first and final wives were not famous, but his second wife was Eva Gardner, his third wife was Lauren Bacall, and his fourth wife was the very young Mia Farrow.
My take was that Frank’s eternal love was Eva Gardner and he never got over the fact she somewhat blew him off in ending their short marriage.
I also learned that Frank’s favorite composer during his career was Nelson Riddle and they worked together on close to a hunderd different songs over the years.
His politics were very interesting and I’ll talk about that on another song.
I know this is Oklahoma and you’re breathlessly waiting for Tiger King II which features a Mike Gundy cameo appearance singing with Joe Exotic…but maybe you’ll like this docu movie as a holdover option.
Stay warm, eat Italian, and drink some great wine then follow it with some warm coffee. Take care.
Arrivederci.
